Washington – US President Donald Trump’s national security adviser Robert O’Brien said Monday that he will ensure a career transition to the team led by Democrat Joe Biden if he is deemed the winner of the 2020 presidential election, and “Obviously things seem like this now.”
Trump has insisted that the November 3 election was “rigged” and that he will be declared the winner after a series of legal challenges in various states.
Speaking to the Global Security Forum, O’Brien said that while he hoped Trump would turn out to have won a second four-year term, he would work under a new administration led by Biden and his vice-presidential running mate, Kamala Harris.
“If there’s a new administration, look, they deserve some time to come in and implement their policies,” O’Brien said.
“If the Biden-Harris ticket is determined to be the winner, and obviously things are looking like this now, we will have a very professional transition from the National Security Council, there is no question about that.”
So far, Trump has presented no evidence that could nullify Biden’s 306-232 victory over Trump in the state-by-state Electoral College vote.
States face a “safe harbor” deadline on December 8 to certify their elections and elect the voters who will officially select the new president on December 14.
O’Brien said it appeared that Biden was prepared to bring in a professional national security team.
“The good news is this is the United States of America,” said the national security adviser.
“We passed the baton and have had peaceful and successful transitions even in the most troubled periods.”
